There are about 8 million people in Israel. There are about 1.5 billion Muslims, many of whom want the Jewish state destroyed. Much of world is increasingly prepared to give the Muslims what they want. There is a large and growing desire to even give up free speech in order to get the Muslims to calm down. There is clearly a large and growing desire to let the Muslims destroy (or attempt to destroy) Israel. You are willfully blind to the fact that there has always been a large Jewish presence in Palestine. You are willfully blind to the fact that the amount of “Arab” land that went to Israel was modest compared to the Jewish wealth and property that was given up as the Jews were expelled from the Arab world. You are willfully blind to the fact that the “Palestinians” didn’t desire an independent state when they were occupied by Arab states before 1967. Prior to modern times there has never been a “Palestinian” nation, nor a “Palestinian” independence movement, nor a “Palestinian” language, nor a distinct “Palestinian” culture. The “Palestinians” are mostly Arabs…inseparable from all the other Arabs of the region. As far as being a separate and distinct national group…no…not by any stretch of the imagination…they are a people invented in modern times to vilify the Jews.
